BACKGROUND

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of smartelectronic device, and particularly to an information processing methodand an electronic device.

There are increasingly more applications in a smart electronic device.Generally, a user needs to switch between different applications whenusing various kinds of applications at the same time. However, there isoften such scenario in practice use, in which the user needs to useinformation in a certain interface of an application B when using anapplication A, but the user often cannot remember the information, andthus he/she needs to switch back to the related interface of theapplication B to check the information, and to switch to the applicationA again when finishing the check. Sometimes, when there is too muchinformation content to be checked and the user cannot remember it at atime, he/she needs to switch between the application A and theapplication B multiple times. For example, the user has bought a productvia an e-shopping website and has got an order number. When the usercontacts the customer service to check the order state via telephone ata later time, the customer service will ask the user about the ordernumber. However, the user often cannot remember the order number andneeds to switch to the order interface of the e-shopping website fromthe calling interface to check the corresponding order number, and toswitch back to the calling interface to continue the call from the orderinterface of the e-shopping website after checking. Sometimes, if theuser does not remember the order number at a time, he/she needs toswitch between the calling interface and the order interface multipletimes, which brings a poor user experience. The switch between theapplications is troublesome, and makes the user's operation complicatedand low efficient.

In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, an informationprocessing method is provided, which is applied to an electronic devicecomprising a display unit having a first display region. As shown inFIG. 1, the method comprises the following steps.

In a step 101, a first operation for covering the first display regionof the display unit is received from a user.

The first operation is an operation in which the user covers the firstdisplay region of the display unit of the electronic device by finger orother body parts. For example, the user puts his/her finger to the firstdisplay region of the display unit in a horizontal direction to coverthe first display region. The electronic device can capture the user'sfirst operation by its display unit and trigger the subsequentprocessing.

In a step 102, the first display region is determined, and thereby asecond display region is determined which is a part of or all of thefirst display region.

The electronic device determines the first display region correspondingto the first operation and further determines the second display regionbased on the determined first display region, after capturing the user'sfirst operation. The second display region may be all of the firstdisplay region. That is, the second display region and the first displayregion are the same. Alternatively, the second display region may be apart of the first display region. That is, a part of the first displayregion meeting a condition is cut off from the first display region tobe the second display region. The condition may be that it containsuseful information. For example, only the character region is cut offfrom the first display region to be the second display region.

In a step 103, a display object in the second display region is analyzedto obtain first identification data satisfying a predeterminedcondition.

In an implementation, the step 103 comprises: taking a snapshot pictureof the display object in the second display region, and taking thesnapshot picture as the first identification data; or performing acharacter recognition for the display object in the second displayregion, and taking a result of the character recognition as the firstidentification data; or taking a snapshot picture of the display objectin the second display region, performing a character recognition for thesnapshot picture, and taking a result of the character recognition asthe first identification data.

For example, when the second display region is all of the first displayregion, in the step 103, a snapshot picture of the display object in thesecond display region may be taken, and the snapshot picture may betaken as the first identification data. Also, in the step 103, acharacter recognition for the display object in the second displayregion may be performed, and a result of the character recognition maybe taken as the first identification data. Also, in the step 103, asnapshot picture of a specific display object in the second displayregion may be taken, a character recognition for the snapshot picturemay be performed, and a result of the character recognition may be takenas the first identification data.

When the second display region is a part of the first display region, inthe step 103, a snapshot picture of the display object in the seconddisplay region may be taken, and the snapshot picture may be taken asthe first identification data. Also, in the step 103, a characterrecognition for the display object in the second display region may beperformed, and a result of the character recognition may be taken as thefirst identification data. Also, in the step 103, a snapshot picture ofa specific display object in the second display region may be taken, acharacter recognition for the snapshot picture may be performed, and aresult of the character recognition may be taken as the firstidentification data.

In a step 104, the first identification data is stored.

In an implementation, the method further comprises: obtaining a firstinstruction to instruct displaying the first identification data, afterstoring the first identification data; obtaining the stored firstidentification data, determining a third display region for displayingthe first identification data, and displaying the first identificationdata through the third display region.

The first instruction may be triggered to be generated by the electronicdevice automatically after storing the first identification data, or maybe triggered to be generated by a specific operation of the user afterstoring the first identification data.

The third display region may be a preset default display region in thedisplay unit of the electronic device, or may be a specific displayregion reserved in the interface of the application running in theelectronic device.

In an implementation, the step of determining a third display region fordisplaying the first identification data comprises: determining a presetdefault display region of the display unit as the third display region;or determining whether a first application is running at foreground ornot when obtaining the first instruction; determining whether a specificregion for rending the first identification data is reserved in aninterface of the first application or not if the first application isrunning at foreground; determining the specific region as the thirddisplay region if it is reserved, and determining the preset defaultdisplay region of the display unit as the third display region if it isnot reserved; determining the preset default display region of thedisplay unit as the third display region if no first application isrunning at foreground; wherein, a display attribute of the defaultdisplay region of the display unit is the default display region beingsuspended at the top layer of the display unit.

In addition, in an implementation, the method further comprises:obtaining a second instruction to terminate displaying the firstidentification data after displaying the first identification datathrough the third display region; and deleting the first identificationdata displayed in the third display region, and deleting the firstidentification data stored in the electronic device.

In this implementation, the second instruction may be triggered to begenerated by a specific operation of the user after the electronicdevice displays the first identification data through the third displayregion. The specific operation may be a touch of a specific key, eitherphysical or virtual, or may be the user ending the first applicationproviding the third display region, or the like.

In addition, in an implementation, the method further comprises:obtaining a second instruction to terminate displaying the firstidentification data after displaying the first identification datathrough the third display region; deleting the first identification datadisplayed in the third display region; obtaining a third instruction fordeleting the stored first identification data; and deleting the firstidentification data stored in the electronic device.

In this implementation, the second instruction may be triggered to begenerated by a specific operation of the user after the electronicdevice displays the first identification data through the third displayregion. The specific operation may be a touch of a specific key, eitherphysical or virtual, or may be the user ending the first applicationproviding the third display region, or the like. The third instructionmay be triggered to be generated by a specific operation of the userafter the electronic device deletes the first identification datadisplayed in the third display region.

The storing unit 30 may be realized by a chipwith a storage function in the electronic device.

Third Embodiment

In the third embodiment, the information processing method described inthe first embodiment will be described in a further detail taking anexample in which the first identification data is abstracted from abrowser page, which mainly comprises the following processing procedure.

The user is logged into a browser using the electronic device andaccesses a shopping website. When the user purchases a product andcompletes the order, the browser is skipped to an order detail page ofthe shopping website, which is as shown in FIG. 3, displayinginformation such as the order state and the order number of the order,or the like.

The user wants to record the order state and the order number of theorder. At this time, the user puts his/her finger to the first displayregion of the display unit of the electronic device in a horizontaldirection, to cover the first display region. As shown in FIG. 4, theregion covered by the user's finger is the first display region.

After the electronic device captures the operation of covering thedisplay unit by the user, it determines the first display regioncorresponding to the covering operation, starts a timer to record theduration of the covering operation after capturing the coveringoperation on the display unit by the user, and triggers an operation fordetermining the first display region corresponding to the coveringoperation when the duration reaches a preset threshold. If the coveringoperation is ended before the duration has reached the preset threshold,it does not trigger the determination of the first display regioncorresponding to the covering operation.

After determining the first display region corresponding to the coveringoperation, the electronic device determines a second display regionbased on the determined first display region, wherein the second displayregion may be all of the first display region. That is, the seconddisplay region and the first display region are the same. Alternatively,the second display region may be a part of the first display region.That is, a part of the first display region meeting a condition is cutoff from the first display region to be the second display region. Thecondition may be that it contains useful information. In the presentembodiment, descriptions will be made taking an example in which thedetermined second display region is all of the first display region.

After determining the second display region, the electronic deviceanalyzes a display object in the second display region to obtain firstidentification data satisfying a predetermined condition. The electronicdevice may take a snapshot picture of the display object in the seconddisplay region, and take the snapshot picture as the firstidentification data. Alternatively, the electronic device may perform acharacter recognition for the display object in the second displayregion, and take a result of the character recognition as the firstidentification data. Alternatively, the electronic device may take asnapshot picture of the display object in the second display region (maybe a picture comprising a part of the useful information), perform acharacter recognition for the snapshot picture, and take a result of thecharacter recognition as the first identification data. In the presentembodiment, descriptions will be made taking an example in which asnapshot picture of the display object in the second display region istaken, and the snapshot picture is taken as the first identificationdata. The snapshot picture of the display object in the second displayregion obtained in the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. 5, whichshows information on the order state and the order number.

After obtaining the snapshot of the display object in the second displayregion, i.e., the first identification data described in the presentembodiment, the electronic device stores the snapshot picture at astorage address which may be a preset address. For example, the snapshotpicture is stored in a preset file holder.

The electronic device stores the first identification data, so that theuser may invoke it at any time. Of course, the user may invoke the firstidentification data when using other applications of the electronicdevice, so that it avoids the troublesome operation of having to returnto the browser application to acquire the information related to thefirst identification data.

It is to be noted that, after the electronic device stores the firstidentification data, if the first identification data needs to beinvoked, a corresponding first instruction will be obtained by theelectronic device. The electronic device obtains the stored firstidentification data based on the first instruction, determines a thirddisplay region for displaying the first identification data, anddisplays the first identification data through the third display region.

The first instruction may be triggered to be generated by the electronicdevice automatically after the first identification data is stored, ormay be triggered to be generated by a specific operation of the userafter the first identification data is stored.

The third display region may be a preset default display region in thedisplay unit of the electronic device, or may be a specific displayregion reserved in the interface of the application running in theelectronic device, wherein a display attribute of the default displayregion of the display unit is the default display region being suspendedat the top layer of the display unit.

Fourth Embodiment

In the fourth embodiment, the information processing method described inthe first embodiment will be described in a further detail taking anexample in which the first identification data is abstracted from abrowser page and is displayed in a calling interface of a communicationapplication, which mainly comprises the following processing procedure.

The user is logged into a browser using the electronic device andaccesses a shopping website. When the user purchases a product andcompletes the order, the browser is skipped to an order detail page ofthe shopping website, which is as shown in FIG. 3, displayinginformation such as the order state and the order number of the order,or the like.

The user wants to record the order state and the order number of theorder. At this time, the user puts his/her finger to the first displayregion of the display unit of the electronic device in a horizontaldirection, to cover the first display region. As shown in FIG. 4, theregion covered by the user's finger is the first display region.

After the electronic device captures the operation of covering thedisplay unit by the user, it determines the first display regioncorresponding to the covering operation, starts a timer to record theduration of the covering operation after capturing the coveringoperation on the display unit by the user, and triggers an operation fordetermining the first display region corresponding to the coveringoperation when the duration reaches a preset threshold. If the coveringoperation is ended before the duration has reached the preset threshold,it does not trigger the determination of the first display regioncorresponding to the covering operation.

After determining the first display region corresponding to the coveringoperation, the electronic device determines a second display regionbased on the determined first display region, wherein the second displayregion may be all of the first display region. That is, the seconddisplay region and the first display region are the same. Alternatively,the second display region may be a part of the first display region.That is, a part of the first display region meeting a condition is cutoff from the first display region to be the second display region. Thecondition may be that it contains useful information. In the presentembodiment, descriptions will be made taking an example in which thedetermined second display region is all of the first display region.

After determining the second display region, the electronic deviceanalyzes a display object in the second display region to obtain firstidentification data satisfying a predetermined condition. The electronicdevice may take a snapshot picture of the display object in the seconddisplay region, and take the snapshot picture as the firstidentification data. Alternatively, the electronic device may perform acharacter recognition for the display object in the second displayregion, and take a result of the character recognition as the firstidentification data. Alternatively, the electronic device may take asnapshot picture of the display object in the second display region (maybe a picture comprising a part of the useful information), perform acharacter recognition for the snapshot picture, and take a result of thecharacter recognition as the first identification data. In the presentembodiment, descriptions will be made taking an example in which asnapshot picture of the display object in the second display region istaken, and the snapshot picture is taken as the first identificationdata. The snapshot picture of the display object in the second displayregion obtained in the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. 5, whichshows information on the order state and the order number.

After obtaining the snapshot of the display object in the second displayregion, i.e., the first identification data described in the presentembodiment, the electronic device stores the snapshot picture.

After the electronic device stores the first identification data, theelectronic device starts a voice calling application. When the voicecalling application is running and the user is in a call with anotherparty, the user triggers an operation for invoking the firstidentification data. The electronic device then obtains thecorresponding first instruction, obtains the stored first identificationdata based on the first instruction, and determines whether a specificregion for rending the first identification data is reserved in thecalling interface of the voice calling application or not. Theelectronic device determines the specific region as the third displayregion if it is reserved, and determines the preset default displayregion of the display unit as the third display region if it is notreserved. In the present embodiment, the specific region for renderingthe first identification data is reserved in the calling interface ofthe voice calling application, thereby the electronic device inserts theobtained first identification data into the specific region reserved inthe calling interface of the voice calling application to display it.The display effect in the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. 6.

When the user ends the voice calling application, the electronic deviceobtains the second instruction, and deletes the first identificationdata displayed in the specific region reserved in the calling interfaceof the voice calling application based on the second instruction. As anoptional implementation, the electronic device may delete the firstidentification data stored in the electronic device at the same timewhen deleting the first identification data displayed in the specificregion reserved in the calling interface of the voice callingapplication. As another optional implementation, the electronic devicemay delete the first identification data stored in the electronic devicewhen receiving a third instruction triggered by the user's operation,after deleting the first identification data displayed in the specificregion reserved in the calling interface of the voice callingapplication.

Fifth Embodiment

In the fifth embodiment, the information processing method described inthe first embodiment will be described in a further detail still takingan example in which the first identification data is abstracted from abrowser page and is displayed in a calling interface of a communicationapplication, which mainly comprises the following processing procedure.

The electronic device starts the voice calling application, and when thevoice calling application is running and the user is in a call withanother party, the user wants to check the order information to controlthe electronic device to switch from the calling interface of the voicecalling application to the interface of the browser, and access theorder detail page of the shopping website by the browser, which is asshown in FIG. 3 showing information such as the order state and theorder number of the order, or the like.

The user wants to record the order state and the order number of theorder. At this time, the user puts his/her finger to the first displayregion of the display unit of the electronic device in a horizontaldirection, to cover the first display region. As shown in FIG. 4, theregion covered by the user's finger is the first display region.

After the electronic device captures the operation of covering thedisplay unit by the user, it determines the first display regioncorresponding to the covering operation, starts a timer to record theduration of the covering operation after capturing the coveringoperation on the display unit by the user, and triggers an operation fordetermining the first display region corresponding to the coveringoperation when the duration reaches a preset threshold. If the coveringoperation is ended before the duration has reached the preset threshold,it does not trigger the determination of the first display regioncorresponding to the covering operation.

After determining the first display region corresponding to the coveringoperation, the electronic device determines a second display regionbased on the determined first display region, wherein the second displayregion may be all of the first display region. That is, the seconddisplay region and the first display region are the same. Alternatively,the second display region may be a part of the first display region.That is, a part of the first display region meeting a condition is cutoff from the first display region to be the second display region. Thecondition may be that it contains useful information. In the presentembodiment, descriptions will be made taking an example in which thedetermined second display region is all of the first display region.

After determining the second display region, the electronic deviceanalyzes a display object in the second display region to obtain firstidentification data satisfying a predetermined condition. The electronicdevice may take a snapshot picture of the display object in the seconddisplay region, and take the snapshot picture as the firstidentification data. Alternatively, the electronic device may perform acharacter recognition for the display object in the second displayregion, and take a result of the character recognition as the firstidentification data. Alternatively, the electronic device may take asnapshot picture of the display object in the second display region (maybe a picture comprising a part of the useful information), perform acharacter recognition for the snapshot picture, and take a result of thecharacter recognition as the first identification data. In the presentembodiment, descriptions will be made taking an example in which asnapshot picture of the display object in the second display region istaken, and the snapshot picture is taken as the first identificationdata. The snapshot picture of the display object in the second displayregion obtained in the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. 5, whichshows information on the order state and the order number.

After obtaining the snapshot of the display object in the second displayregion, i.e., the first identification data described in the presentembodiment, the electronic device stores the snapshot picture. After theelectronic device stores the first identification data, the electronicdevice generates a first instruction automatically, and obtains thestored first identification data based on the first instruction. Theelectronic device determines whether a specific region for rending thefirst identification data is reserved in the calling interface of thevoice calling application or not. The electronic device determines thespecific region as the third display region if it is reserved, anddetermines the preset default display region of the display unit as thethird display region if it is not reserved. In the present embodiment,the specific region for rendering the first identification data isreserved in the calling interface of the voice calling application,thereby the electronic device inserts the obtained first identificationdata into the specific region reserved in the calling interface of thevoice calling application to display it. The display effect in thepresent embodiment is as shown in FIG. 6.

When the user ends the voice calling application, the electronic deviceobtains the second instruction, and deletes the first identificationdata displayed in the specific region reserved in the calling interfaceof the voice calling application based on the second instruction. As anoptional implementation, the electronic device may delete the firstidentification data stored in the electronic device at the same timewhen deleting the first identification data displayed in the specificregion reserved in the calling interface of the voice callingapplication. As another optional implementation, the electronic devicemay delete the first identification data stored in the electronic devicewhen receiving a third instruction triggered by the user's operation,after deleting the first identification data displayed in the specificregion reserved in the calling interface of the voice callingapplication.

In the present embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronicdevice is triggered to store the first identification data displayed inthe first display region of the display unit of the electronic device bya user's specific operation, so that the user may invoke it at any time.Of course, the electronic device may invoke the first identificationdata when running other application, and display the invoked firstidentification data in a proper region of the display unit of theelectronic device, which enables the user to check the firstidentification data without a switch of the applications when usingother applications, and ensures the normal running of the applications.With the embodiment of the present disclosure, it avoids the troublesomeoperation of having to return to the browser application to acquire theinformation related to the first identification data, the operationcomplexity of the electronic device is decreased, and the operationefficiency is improved.
